How You Can Help Us
A big thank you for staying with us at this time. As you will see from the stories in our newsletter, we have found ways to keep going throughout the last few months, to support our volunteers, and to keep our sites ticking over so that when we welcome people back, we haven’t lost too much ground.
A big thank you to everyone who shopped with us on our extra opening times. As many of you know, our eco shop has been tremendously valuable to our charity. It has helped us to fundraise and maintain our income. Along with many other independent shops November and December are crucial times for our eco shop. We hope that we will come out of lockdown and welcome you all safely back, so we can make up for lost time.
If ever we needed your support in our raffle and our end of year fundraiser, this is the year. We have a brilliant selection of prizes, and a huge thank you to all our sponsors. They are all listed on the raffle sheet, and on the back, we have detailed where shops are finding ways to trade safely during lockdown. If you visit as a result of this publicity, do give us a mention so that they know we are thinking of them. You can also purchase raffle tickets online, or fill them in and drop them off to the eco shop.
